57:11Now PlayingIn Angkor's Temples in the Modern Era: War, Pride and Tourist Dollars, John Burgess masterfully brings to life the modern history of Cambodia's fabled Angkor temples, from their "discovery" by French explorers in the mid-19th century, through to the latter part of the 20th century, when celebrity visitors included a well-publicized one by Jackie Onassis and making Angkor one of the top 3 monuments to visit in the world.
